They have special characteristics... really really special characteristics.
They're the least human looking. They're also the most advanced species in New Eden (thought to be actual humans or to have had the most access to human technologies to sustain them at the time of the collapse of the EVE gate. Amarr was the most dangerous in term of firepower at one time, but they got one of their fleets nearly obliterated by Jove Frigates, a few carriers and a mothership (which were the first have had the doomsday weapons). It's needless to say that, despite being small in numbers, no one messes with them for fears of what their rage my instill on those who **** them off. More over, any clone related technology was basically done by them and I am certain they still pretty much hold the control on the supply of clones.
They're also very highly genetically engineered, and thus wound up having a disease that basically makes them die due to losing the will to live. It could strike any Jove at any moment, and players would really be pissed off if their player character suddenly decided to stop using weapons and get killed by the server. Also, they can't reproduce normally, so their population is either very slowly increasing, stagnant or outright dwindling.

Because the Jove are about 15000 years ahead of the the rest of eve races. And are probably ebil. That beings said, pods and cloning are Jove Technology. The Jove clone themselves rather than reproduce. So, technically you could argue that pod technology is a form of icky Jove forced reproduction. Hmmmm. If anything the Jove wish to remain neutral in the conflicts of the Four Empires. The disease that is killing them is far more important than the petty politics of less advanced humans, but they will defend their space from any aggression. Maybe if the Sleepers actually awaken or take over the first generation of Dust mercenaries you would see a more radical splinter faction. The more evil group and the cthulhu of space would be the Enheduanni. They are so potent that even the Jovian directorate fears them. you're pretty informative. So what's a sleeper? They're human sub-species that have long-since been extinct. They were supposed to be caretakers of the Jovians (or was it the other way around? I forget). They're very much as advanced as the Jove in many aspects, but what remains of them is basically the drones and the structures/ruins they left behind. Oh and their VR world. All Sleepers are inherently connected into this VR world, and all machines conform a part of it.
When capsuleers go into Sleeper territory to "salvage" parts from wormhole space (where they live) to make T3 ships and the early clone soldiers, they are also destroying the VR world or basically "rapturing/kidnapping" them. The original sleeper technology used to make instant scans of the brain was used on the first generation of clone soldiers of DUST, which why there are DUST soldiers suddenly going crazy and writing "514" in blood everywhere. Seems it's the Sleeper consciousness taking over the clones original mind and making them "fight back". |

It always kind of cracked me up that wormhole space/sleepers were pitched as a new big baddie in EVE. When WE'RE the ones going into their homes, stealing stuff, and ganking them up. They just sit in their cute lil' wormhole and take it. It's like fearing and then conquering the pacifists of the Ghandi nebula. Which leads me to my next question, why are they sleeping? And why do they just let us come and take their stuff but make us go crazy later on? They're already extinct as a human bio creatures, more or less. All that's left is the drones that their minds are attached to...
And of course, their VR "hive-mind" world... |
